I'm so sorry...
I'm so sorry I haven't come here in so long! So many of you helped me in the most desperate time of my life and I didn't mean at all to just walk away and turn my back on you. I needed a break away from here. It used to help me so much but I found I was getting very anxious about the cancer returning when I would read all the posts about recurrence. I suppose the fear will never go away and I have to learn to face it. I'm sure all of us wish we could erase the fact that we had cancer, but we can't. I am a little over 5 months out of radiation treatment and 7 months out from chemo, and so far, so good. I had some side effects from Tamoxifen but they seem to have gotten better. My doctor convinced me that I'm lucky I can take it, so basically... grin and bear it. My knees took the brunt of it, but I started taking Osteo Bi-Flex and they are almost back to normal. In the beginning, I was walking like I was 90 years old!
When I first found this site when I was diagnosed, I remember reading posts from all the wonderful survivors here. I thought it could only be a dream that I would one day be one of you. I longed for the day I could give someone like me hope that they can survive. I have been blessed with that opportunity and it's time to reach out!
Thank you so much for reaching out and I hope I can remain devoted enough to come here once in a while. I'm going to try to read a little here to catch up a bit.
Natly, thank you and I'm looking forward to catching up with you.

I am glad that you are doing well. Yeah we have to face it BC will be with us forever. Every time when I am going for check up I realize it. Even when everything is fine I feel sad.
Looking forward, be aware of your body and celebrate life.

So good to hear from you Marlene. I know a lot of us take breaks from here and some leave after treatments and start living full and happy lives. I think that is a part of getting past bc and actually moving on.
Wishing you all the best!

Thank you so much, ladies!
Thank you so much, ladies! I have thought about each of you and am so happy to see your posts! We have a LOT to be thankful for and this site is for sure one of them. I don't think I could've made it as far as I did without it... that combined with the love of me kids, who without, I wouldn't have had the willpower to fight.0
